One way to do Hunter Star is in scrappy format with 8 different triangle sections making up each block. I really like it and probably will continue making blocks like this. Another way is to have all 8 of the triangles that make a star block of the same 2 fabrics. This is the first Hunter Star quilt top that I made in 2015. The third way was the layout of my most recent Hunter Star quilt top. In this one the quarter square blocks are 2 triangles from the same fabric combination sewn together and placed diagonally across from each other and a second combination is in the other 2 corners. In this quilt each fabric pair is in 2 blocks rather than all in the same block as in the photo above. That makes this one look a little more scrappy but not as random as the first photo. You can see that a little more clearly in the shot of one block. I hope this gives you more ideas for playing with the blocks if you make a Hunter Star quilt.

Last summer, my friend Colleen and I decided to take the Hunter Star class at Along Came Quilting. Here's a photo of the class sample, made by Kim Morrison, from the Along Came Quilting website, . This is a gorgeous quilt, in a traditional Hunter Star layout. This is a 4 day class (over 3 or 4 months), with lots of homework. On the 2nd day of class, you play with layout designs, as there are many options. Believe it or not, you can spend a whole day twisting and playing with block arrangement. Kim, our instructor, warned us in advance not to be too set on the traditional layout, as the fabrics and blocks might tell you how they need to be. Colleen was sure her quilt would be a traditional Hunter Star, as laid out below. And here's another layout option, with the same blocks. But Kim was right. Colleen's blocks did not want to be traditional. And here's how she chose to set her blocks... This layout required more light blocks than dark blocks. Colleen was starting to really like her quilt now, but wanted it slightly larger, and didn't care for the unfinished light stars on the edges, so very cleverly decided to add 1/2 blocks all around the outside edges, which finished the stars and made the quilt the size she wanted. And, for consistency, and to make it more border-like, she used the same dark blue fabric in all of these blocks. Isn't it wonderful with those 1/2 blocks added and the stars finished? Colleen IS brilliant :) I took a huge number of photos, but not one of the whole quilt after those 1/2 blocks were added. The fun continued with the quilting. Silk batting gives a nice loft without adding a lot of weight to this 88x102 quilt. Whimsical freehand feathers in the border, feathers between stars and some line-dancing in the block centers, giving lots of motion to the quilt. The stars were stitched around (ditched) to define them, and some continuous curves through the stars for softness. I had been getting a little discouraged quilting the light areas, as it was very hard to see what I had done, and it seemed like it wouldn't be worth all the time...but then I came back downstairs and the light was just right!! Hooray, the quilting really does show! These photos are while the work was still in progress, so the dark stars aren't stitched in yet. And, Colleen really wanted pillow shams, but didn't want to piece any more blocks (plus I think she was out of usable fabric for light stars) so she gave me some of her border fabric, and I designed some quilted pillow shams. oops, forgot to remove the chalk lines before taking photos The quilting is hard to see from the front, but when the light hits right, it's visible. If you're still here, thanks for enduring through all these photos with me.

This is my guild Black and White Challenge entry for our quilt show in April. Members were given 3 black and white print fat quarters as well as were asked to pick a marker out of a bag without looking. The marker colour is our accent colour to add to the quilt. We could also add solid black, solid white and more black and white print fabrics. Here is the marker I picked and was happy to have found fabric that matched really well. There was no size requirements for this challenge so I only made a small wall hanging that is 36” x 36”. I used the Rapid Fire Hunters Star ruler to cut out the pieces and was really impressed with how it worked. I stitched in the ditch then added the feather motifs. I didn’t quilt anything in the black and white print fabrics as the prints are quite bold. Used white So Fine thread and Quilters Dream Blend batting. We had about 40 members buy kits for this challenge and I have seen a lot of them being worked on at our retreats and UFO days, even a few done and shown at Show and Tell. I’m looking forward to seeing them all together at the show, it will be a great display!
